The research ship Eleonore has been docked in the Linz Winter Harbor since 2009. Over the years, the Danube-aquatists have not only reclaimed the Danube as a space in the city for living and experimenting, but have also established the project as an international artist-in-residency opportunity.
As Armin Medosch* described the background of this project so incomparably succinctly: “The Eleonore opens up a different access to reality, which has something almost utopian about it today, a flare of lightning on the horizon, alluding to the possibilities of both individual and collective autonomy, a new form of relationship with nature, and an understanding of science and technology different from that left over from the murderous dialectic of the Enlightenment (Horkheimer & Adorno 1988).”
